Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDamion Mounts is a Cybersecurity Engineer with eight years of experience focused on tooling that helps identify and respond to adversary behaviors, currently applied at MITRE. He builds backend and DevOps solutions—Dockerizing services, hardening database deployments, and adding HTTPS and health checks—to make security tooling reliable and deployable. Damion is particularly interested in Human-in-the-Loop semi-automation for safely handling AI-driven workflows and software that processes potentially malformed data. Based in McLean, Virginia, he brings a systems-engineering background from Arizona State and practical open-source contributions to projects like CISAgov/decider that map adversary activity to MITRE ATT&CK. The combination of operational rigor and attention to human oversight helps him bridge automated detection with analyst-driven response.
